Share your story
PLAC needs people to speak out about their personal experiences of discrimination to news and media publications to advance the fight for civil rights. Particularly, we are looking for people who can share stories about:
Health insurance coverage & health care access - inability to cover more than one partner
Housing discrimination
Hospital visitation issues with more than one partner
Employment discrimination
Child custody challenges
Any other challenges with lack of recognition of more than one partnership
It’s most helpful to hear stories from people who would be comfortable sharing their names and faces, but we are also open to people who need to remain anonymous. Here’s a helpful article by Executive Director of Chosen Family Law Center, Diana Adams, on how to decide whether it’s safe for you to come out publicly as polyamorous.
If you have a story to share, please email info@polyamorylegaladvocacycoalition.org with “Polyamory Media” in the subject line.
Legal representation
At the moment, PLAC is collecting stories of discrimination from poly communities for legislative advocacy, but cannot provide any legal advice. Our partner organization, Chosen Family Law Center, is a nonprofit providing legal support services for LGBTQIA, polyamorous, and other underserved families.
Please visit their website to see if you may qualify for legal services.
